Tata Power will develop a 100 MW solar project in Maharashtra, the company announced today just days after it secured a solar project development in Gujarat. “Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL) has received a letter of award from Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Co Ltd (MSEDCL) to develop a 100 MW solar project in Maharashtra,” the company said in a BSE filing on Friday. Just a few days ago, Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd had also received a letter of award from Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd (GUVNL) for a 120 MW solar project in the state.
Currently, India has about 35,000 megawatt of total installed capacity of solar power, which is less than 10% of India’s total power generation at 3,70,348 megawatt, inclusive of wind energy, coal energy etc.
